Property Description « Swahili »

Beyond the hills of Sound Avenue, where Long Island quietly fades into the North Fork, sits a 1948 Swiss chalet unlike anything else on the market — thoughtfully reimagined by its owners, both working designers, into a private wellness retreat.

Set on a 0.55-acre double lot behind mature trees and a gravel motor court, the residence offers an unusual degree of privacy across three finished levels. The chalet's original silhouette and pitched rooflines have been preserved, while the interior has been reworked as a study in tactile, considered materials — Venetian plaster walls and ceilings, honed Carrara marble, and a hand-limewashed kitchen run throughout the main level. The great room is anchored by a sculptural Venetian plaster ceiling, and a hand-finished oxblood staircase serves as the home's central design gesture. Wide-plank white oak floors and custom millwork carry the material language upstairs, where the primary suite opens to a private balcony framed by the chalet's original heart-cutout balustrade.

Outdoor living was built with the same intention. A freestanding sauna, a cold plunge, and a simple wood-built temperature-controlled outdoor tub — no jets, just heat and stillness — sit tucked into the garden, alongside a wood-fired pizza oven and dining pavilion designed for entertaining. A stone patio extends the living space outdoors, framed by mature plantings that create a fully private, screened setting.

The current configuration offers 4/5 bedrooms and 2 Full 2 half baths across approximately 2,200 square feet. A third-floor guest level sits tucked beneath the chalet's original roofline, and a lower level offers additional flexible living space.

Wander up the road to Big Rock Beach, where the North Fork does its version of a swim — quieter, rockier, and unbothered. Beyond it, the vineyards, farm stands, and harbor towns that define the North Fork are close at hand. The property is zoned for Riverhead School District.

Sale includes the attached vacant lot, offering additional flexibility for the next owner.

This is not simply a renovated house— it is a working portfolio piece for two designers, thoughtfully reimagined and ready for its next chapter. A rare category-of-one offering for a buyer seeking design pedigree.

Zaidi ya milima ya Sound Avenue, ambapo Long Island taratibu inakabiliana na North Fork, kuna chalet ya Uswisi ya mwaka 1948 isiyofanana na chochote kingine sokoni — iliyofikiriwa tena na wamiliki wake, wabunifu wawili wanaofanya kazi, kuwa retreat ya faraja ya kibinafsi.

Imewekwa kwenye eneo la ekari 0.55 nyuma ya miti mikubwa na korti ya mawe ya gari, makazi hayo yanatoa kiwango kisichokuwa cha kawaida cha faragha katika ngazi tatu zilizokamilika. Silueti ya awali ya chalet na paa lililo na mwinuko zimehifadhiwa, wakati wa ndani umebadilishwa kuwa chuo cha vifaa vya kugusa na kufikiria — kuta za plaster za Venesia na ceilings, marble ya Carrara iliyonyolewa, na jikoni iliyofutwa kwa mikono inakimbia kwenye ngazi kuu. Chumba kikuu kimeungwa mkono na dari ya plaster ya Venesia yenye umbo la sanamu, na ngazi ya rangi ya oxblood iliyo mwisho kwa mikono inatumika kama ishara kuu ya muundo wa nyumba hiyo. Sakafu za mwaloni mweupe zenye planks pana na kazi maalum za millwork zinapeleka lugha ya vifaa juu, ambapo suite kuu inafunguka kwenye balcony ya faragha iliyo na fremu ya balustrade ya moyo ya chalet.

Kuishi nje kuliwa na nia hiyo hiyo. Sauna huru, mkojo wa baridi, na tub ya nje iliyo na udhibiti wa joto iliyojengwa kwa mbao — hakuna jet, ni joto na utulivu tu — viko kwenye bustani, pamoja na oveni ya pizza inayotumia kuni na pavilioni la kulia lililopangwa kwa ajili ya kuburudika. Patio ya mawe inapanua nafasi ya kuishi nje, ikifungwa na mimea mikubwa inayounda mazingira ya faragha kamili, iliyo na matundu.

Mpangilio wa sasa unatoa vyumba 4/5 na bafu 2 kamili na 2 nusu katika eneo la takriban futi za mraba 2,200. Kiwango cha wageni katika ghorafa ya tatu kimejificha chini ya safu ya awali ya paa la chalet, na ngazi ya chini inatoa nafasi ya kuishi inayoweza kubadilishwa zaidi.

Tembea kwenye barabara kuelekea Big Rock Beach, ambapo North Fork inafanya toleo lake la kuogelea — kimya, na mawe, na isiyo na usumbufu. Zaidi yake, mashamba ya mizabibu, mahali pa kilimo, na miji ya bandari inayofafanua North Fork iko karibu. Mali hiyo imetengwa kwa Wilaya ya Shule ya Riverhead.

Mauzo yanajumuisha eneo lililounganishwa la wazi, linalotoa kubadilika zaidi kwa mmiliki anayefuata.

Hii si tu nyumba iliyofanyiwa ukarabati — ni kipande cha kazi kwa wabunifu wawili, kilichofikiriwa tena na tayari kwa sura yake inayofuata. Ofarifu ya nadra ya aina moja kwa mnunuzi anayeangalia pedigree ya muundo.
